Who makes History? This resource, launched in 2014, is dedicated to recording and popularising people’s history, that is, the history of ‘everyday women, men, people of colour, migrants, indigenous people, LGTB people, disabled people, workers, the unemployed, housewives and single mothers, as opposed to the history of rich and powerful individuals, kings, queens and politicians’. The collection of podcasts presented here tell the stories of past struggles which still resonate today. Each episode has a ‘Footnotes’ section, which offers links to relevant resources including short videos, articles written at the time, and websites.

The A/V Geeks Film Archive is an American 16mm educational film collection curated by Skip Elsheimer housing over 24,000 films gathered from school auctions, thrift stores, attics and rubbish tips. Many titles are available for sale on DVD. The films are searchable by broad theme (religion, experiments caught on film, propaganda, telephone). Compilation videos are also for sale including topics such as factories and assembly lines, films from the 1950 and sex education. Because of the manner in which the films were acquired the technical quality is highly variable. The majority of titles can be shipped overseas.

The Moving Image and Recorded Sound (MIRS) Division documents the experiences of peoples of African descent, as they have been captured via audiovisual technology. The collections encompass a variety of formats including motion picture film (released prints and outtakes), video recordings, and music, and spoken arts recordings in several formats. Included in the broad range of audiovisual materials are documentary and dramatic films, principally focusing upon international political, anthropological, religious, and cultural arts themes. A unique collection of public affairs television programmes documents the local concerns of African Americans in communities across the United States. Public service announcements and commercial advertisements are also strongly represented.
Since 1980 the MIRS has conducted oral history interviews through its Oral History/Video Documentation Programme. These primary source video testimonies are part of one of the nation’s longest-running video oral history programme.
The collections are held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Researchers from abroad may access the collection on site having obtained a temporary library card. Increasingly, the Center’s audio-visual holdings are being cataloged in The New York Public Library’s online public access catalogue.

A website that provides a chronological flow of events that lead to the development of television. It is focused on hardware, not television programmes, or programming, or how television influences lives. There is some programme information on the site relating to the ‘first’ shows, and how they were discussed in TV Guide. The majority of information on the site relates to American television. The Collections pages list individuals and organisations from around the world with their own websites and collections; a warning that several links are broken.
